David J. Silvester, a mathematics professor at the University of Manchester, has developed a novel machine-learning method to ...

Cadence and Nvidia expand their AI partnership to close the sim-to-real gap in robotics, fusing physics engines with Nvidia’s ...

Knots are everywhere—from tangled headphones to DNA strands packed inside viruses—but how an isolated filament can knot itself without collisions or external agitation has remained a longstanding ...

With the magnificent real images of water pouring from the sky and the after-fire fumes from a car, there is no escaping from the laws of physics in movies either! Fluid simulation in the ’50s and ...

Storm surges or collapsing dams: authentic simulations of water flows are not only important for special effects in disaster movies, but could also help to protect coastal regions. For more realistic ...
